CTC teamed up with Cycling Projects to promote the largest network of inclusive cycling centres. The centres provide thousands of people with the opportunity to experience cycling whatever their ability.

CTC supports more than 40 Inclusive Cycling Centres across England as part of a Big Lottery funded project.

Each Inclusive Cycling Centre is unique and can specialise in working with people with physical or mental disabilities, new cyclists, the elderly, injury rehabilitation referrals or just those lacking the confidence to take a bicycle out on the road.

Happy Birthday to them! Nearly 80 riders left the Hessle Rugby Club in three groups to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of East Yorks CTC earlier this month.

Formerly known as Hull and East Riding District Association of the Cyclists' Touring Club, East Yorks CTC is one of 230 local CTC groups throughout the UK whose activities any member can take part in. It holds social events, youth hostel and camping trips and various competitions and medal schemes throughout the year.

Jackie Ames was the lucky winner of our Fortnum & Mason ‘The English Essentials Hamper’ at Eroica Britannia. Jackie tells us of her family's experience at this summer's must-cycle event.

After taking part in the inaugural Eroica last year, we were champing at the bit for the registration to open this year.

We arrived on the Saturday morning, after queuing for a while – it was obviously going to be busier this time around, and we found a lovely pitch in the second camping field – nice and soft on top of long grass and buttercups.

First stop was the cycle jumble – a must for the two menfolk – and soon we had a selection of cycle jerseys, longer toeclips and a few other bits and pieces.

One of an occasional series of figure 8 introductory rides, with a 20 mile morning loop with a mid morning cafe stop and returning to a cafe near Derby for lunch. Followed by an afternoon 20 mile loop.

Routes mainly on lanes with some well surfaced off road sections and only short stretches om main road where unavoidable. Fairly flat and at an easy pace. All welcome, if you'd like to know more please contact ctcdab@gmail.com
